rREFATORY  NOTE 


This  list  is  made  up  chiefly  of  references  to  material  on  the  parcels 
post  question  in  the  United  States,  but  it  includes  descriptions  and 
discussions  of  the  parcels  post  in  the  more  important  European  coun- 
tries. It  will  enable  an  investigator  to  study  the  situation  in  this 
country  and  to  draw  lessons  from  the  experience  of  other  countries. 

Special  attention  is  directed  to  the  following  public  documents: 
Report  of  Mr.  Xathan  B.  Williams,  published  as  Senate  Document 
542,  Sixty-first  Congress,  second  session,  item  78;  consult  also  the 
index  under  Mr.  Williams's  name;  House  Report  2180,  Sixty-first 
Congress,  third  session,  item  65:  see  also  item  12G.  Three  impor- 
tant documents  were  received  too  late  to  be  included  in  their  proper 
places  in  the  list.  They  have  therefore  been  put  at  the  end  of  the 
section  devoted  to  books  as  items  81a,  81b,  and  81c.  These  are  the 
hearings  before  the  House  and  Senate  committees  and  are  of  the 
first  importance  in  an  investigation  of  the  subject. 

Debaters  will  find  in  the  index  under  the  heading  United  States 
the  arguments  in  favor  and  those  opposed  separately  enumerated. ,
